Critical reception


Rik Ambelle from Crawley News described "Your Mirror" as "haunting".[3] Robbert Tilli from Music & Media noted that it "showcases Hucknall's talent for writing soulful pop."[4] Pop Rescue wrote that it's "stronger" than the previous songs on the Stars album, "with its bass and piano hooks". They added that here the singer "takes a harder lyrical and vocal approach, almost menacing at times."[5] Johnny Dee from Smash Hits viewed it as a "great tune", and "dreamy and wafty".[6] Another editor, Polly Birkbeck said it is "a droning slowie with a chorus of birdies chirping all through it."[7]
